Choo Choo!
As a rather bold and independent child I was no stranger to going on trips unaccompanied. In fact many school holidays revolved around one day travelcards and mincing around London.

So one day me and best mate convinced another friend to come out with us for the day. He was a little unsure of himself and I can't help but wonder if (apart from a Haven holiday to Bournemouth) he'd ever left our town.

So, you can imagine his face when after about an hour on the train we grabbed him, frog marched him over to the open doors and held him there before giving him a firm shove out the door once the "doors closing" warning beeps sounded.

The look of terror on his face as the train with the only people he knew for 20 miles pulled away from the station still haunts me.

T'was before the advent of mobile phones so we decided to be kind and wait at the next station for him to arrive on the next train (20 mins). You could still see the tears....
